Smokun and I disagreed on the last window cleaning post, but I have to agree with him on the use of vinegar to clean the towels. We will wash our towels, microfiber, at the end of the month. One store last month started having issues, and found they hadnt been using the vinegar for a few...

My grandmother would constantly talk about other people in a negative manner and finish by saying "God bless their soul". Still didnt make it right. I did see it the first time, no need to make it bold and 72pt font.

Steve, You asked, I answered. Even if your info is scientifically acurate, your remark about the old detailer is uncalled for, "with all due respect" of course.

Nevermind, saw the other post.

I cant tend to my wash on an hourly basis and end up with messes from time to time also. We get paint and drywall, deer corn and mud. If I could I would police my wash closer to Red or Mepp. I dont think some of you understand the mud situation as well as we do. After a rain, I will ask my...

You need to figure out what you want to use reclaim water for first. Reclaim systems vary dramatically in water volume and quality. The quality of water the unit produces will affect the uses it has. We currently have four PurClean units for our tunnels and I love them. They have a few...

I keep a cutting torch tip cleaner, has different sized "rods", handy. It works great on all sorts of tips, injectors etc. Also, does your water softener and RO carbine tank have automatic heads for cleaning. We used to have the mechanical heads and replaced them digital heads. They work...

Another old detailer trick I was taught long ago is to clean/wipe the windows in an up and down motion instead of side to side. I have been teaching this to people for about the last ten years or so. The guy who told me this said the eye cant see vertical lines as well as horizontal ones, not...

I know every state/police department handles these things differently. Here, if the accident happened on private property,the police wont file a report and a few customers, after raising the voice to the officer, were almost arrested. We have had this happen, and we learned that while both...

Did the cameras get the guys license plate number? If so give it to the customer's insurance. Work with the lady. She didnt do anything wrong. You cant expect her to see the truck while in the wash, and even if she did, should she have hit her brakes so the vehicle behind her could hit her...

My question would be what has changed in the last few weeks that was different from the first week or so when it did work? Was it rainy then or now? Was it cold then or now? Where do you get your water from? Well, lake, river? Have you checked your water hardness? I know that around here...

Pat, on a different note, why the Dr. Phil thing? Do you really take that guy seriously? I can go for the Obama and Oprah thing, two people who have accomplished what they have and what it took to get there, inspirational. It might not be my first choice, but still inspirational. Back to the...

Pat, what is your IQ and what was your SAT score?

Continued If you apply this to this season's calendar: Regular season starts 9/30 and ends 11/22 Conference championships on 11/27, 11/28 & 11/29 (Thanksgiving weekend!) Additional off week for finals(still college) 12/6 Playoffs 12/13 thru 12/27 National Championship 1/3/09 This scenario...

Due to the fact that it was raining most of today and I am not happy with the current way, I have decided to solve the biggest problem our nation currently faces... the BCS. I have come up with the following: 16-team playoff There are currently 34 bowl games, 16 of which pay out 1 million...

Yeah, I crawled out of my hole this morning for the first time since Sat. I wasnt surprised by how OU played, I knew that was coming, but we stunk up the place. Not much else I can say. Maybe you can have pity on me as I will be rooting for the Aggies on Thursday. As BOOMERSOONER pointed out...

How is the new wash going? Congrats. I knew the colder weather would get to him.

Being that we are in west texas, I am no stranger to dirty bill acceptors. I routinely take the acceptors apart in order to clean the dirt out. I have seen the belts become greasy before but not lately. I am starting to wonder about the tension of the belts, it is a busy machine. I just have...

I am having a problem with one of my bill acceptors and I am close to burning the thing while I dance around it! It is a CoinCo acceptor. The problem is the bill is not fully seating in the cashbox which causes the next bill to not be accepted, shutting down the machine. The bottom half inch...

I just spent all of last month running my normally white soap as pink. I didnt want to use a FB soap, didnt feel it did as well as my normal LoPH soap. I used a red food coloring at 4 gallons of soap to 1 gallon of food coloring. This was for a tunnel application. No cars came out pink. It...
